This home is old, not Versailles old, but for California it is old. Built over a hundred years ago, it now has been restored from the foundation to the roof. It is like a new house. Bright and airy, this house has been remodeled and reworked to fit our 2012 lifestyle. It has 1700 square feet of living space, 3 bedrooms, 2 and half baths and a sunny south facing kitchen/family great room. The original floors have been stained and refinished a warm walnut color and the ceilings are just under 10’ high. The bay window in the living room reminds us of what this house has seen, and in over a hundred years it has seen a lot. The open dining area is spacious and kitchen is smartly styled with honed stone black counters, new white cabinets, white beveled subway tiles, stainless steel appliances and a high counter so folks can sit on a stool, have a snack and chat with the cook. The family room is accented by a wall of glass doors that lead to the large wood deck creating true California living, blurring the lines between outside and in. There is a half bath upstairs and a nice sized bedroom or office as well.
Down the spacious stairs the master bedroom has it all. Glass doors lead you to your private brick patio and garden. Three closets create ample room to store clothes and stuff from every era of your life. The attached bath has mosaic Carrera tiled accents, double sinks, a deep soaking tub and a separate shower. The 3rd bedroom is large and has its own tiled bathroom with shower. The garden is sunny and large, ready for gardening and play. The home has a garage with interior access to the house, and all new systems. New radiant heat, new electrical, new plumbing, new roof, new foundation and more.
The location is great. It is in the center of NOBE, the North Oakland, Berkeley, Emeryville, area and in the hub of neighborhood amenities. The Golden Gate Community Garden is across the street, and the Golden Gate Playground and Rec Center with its play structure, basketball courts and baseball field is just down the block. For cyclists, and music and art lovers, the Actual Café is an easy stroll around the corner, and knitters will love, A Verb for Keeping Warm and sweet lovers will want to make a habit out of, James and the Giant Cupcake. Freeway access to San Francisco is nearby, and Berkeley and Emeryville are just blocks away.
